Does Patrick Bergin sing in a band?

Bergin fronts his own band called Patrick Bergin and the Spirit Merchants.

His song "The Knacker" found equal parts success and controversy when released.

After causing some offence with the song's title, Bergin responded: "I was talking to another woman from the Travelling community on the radio and we came to an understanding and she accepted that it was not intended that way, and proceeds will go to benefit Travelling communities."
